"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature...Yes, Christ changes men, and changed men can change the world."

Something That Matters

I can officially say it has been forever since I have blogged. Listening to good ol' Lady A today provided the spark to get me writing again!

I love this song, "I Was Here." (I love a lot of Lady Antebellum's music :)) Especially because I have been thinking a lot lately about what matters.

My life has become so busy...even busier than I have ever been before...which causes good time for reflection: if how we spend our time reflects our priorities, are my priorities what I want them to be?

One thought that comes to mind is this quote:

"How we respond in any situation has to make things better,

not worse....

What ultimately will make this situation and [others] better?"

Jeffrey R. Holland

Back to the song, one reason I like it so much is that I don't get the vibe of "this is all about me and how I can change the world"...even though it talks about that. I get the vibe of getting pumped up to make sure I am being me, and being the best me every day so I can do something that matters.

What matters?

When you know that, you find your path.

"I Was Here"Lady Antebellum

You will notice meI'll be leaving my mark like initials carved in an old oak treeYou wait and seeMaybe I'll write like Twain wroteMaybe I'll paint like Van GoghCure the common coldI don't know but I'm ready start cause I know in my heart

I wanna do something that mattersSay something differentSomething that sets the whole world on its earI wanna do something betterWith the time I've been givenAnd I wanna tryTo touch a few hearts in this lifeLeave nothing lessThan something that says "I was here"

I will prove you wrongIf you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shockCause this dream's too strongAnd before too long

Maybe I'll compose symphonies,Maybe I'll fight for world peaceCause I know it's my destinyTo leave more than a trace of myself in this place

I wanna do something that mattersSay something differentSomething that sets the whole world on its earI wanna do something betterWith the time I've been givenAnd I wanna tryTo touch a few hearts in this lifeLeave nothing lessThan something that says "I was here"

And I know that I will do more than just pass through this lifeI'll leave nothing less than something that says "I was here"

"I was here"(I was here)"I was here"(wanna do something that matters)(Something that says I was here)"wanna do something that matters"(Something that says I was here)"I was here"
